Really nice place to farm Mote of Mana.No one ever farms there.These guys have a pretty decent drop rate for me. (31 motes out of 75 kills)

Even better if you are a scryer because the flight path is closer to them!

Fantastic source of mana and air (from enraged air spirits) along the south eastern edge of SMV, though unfortunately the respawn rate does seem a little low. I sometimes farm along the edge, and once out of spawns do a lap around the netherwing ledge looking for mana thistle.

They're usually back up by then. Kirin Var village is a better source in some ways, but these things are weak and pretty much harmless. A nice change of pace, anyway.

These seem to have an excellent drop rate for fel glands (needed for netherwing daily quests), but I have to drink after every other fight. (6x my normal rate).

I found that running while "drain mana" is active can cause it to end early. If you can stay at range during the fight, you may be able to avoid it completely.

These are the mobs to farm for Fel Glands, at least for non-skinners. Decent drop rates on both the glands and Motes of Mana, meaning that after you're done farming your 12 glands, you'll probably have an extra Primal Mana for your trouble. The air elementals mixed in are also nice for the occasional Mote of Air.

Skinners will probably want to farm the Shadow Serpents on the northeastern edge of the valley, which also drop the glands, as well as being skinnable for Cobra Scales.

These are great for Mote of Mana, when compairing this farming spot to the netherstorm one, i'd say this is better due to the lack of people. Best route to farm is to do an L-shape path from above the santum of stars, East to the end of the map then north up to black temple, repeat.

Don't ignore the enraged air spirits either, in a 2 hour session i got 73 motes of mana and 27 motes of air.

I just hit exalted tonight, and have been riding around on my RED NETHER RAY all over, with my NETHER RAY HUNTER PET and my Nether Fry. All... different... colors. *sigh*. I know the nether fry isn't gonna change color, but I'm going to coordinate as best I can!

Two out of three ain't bad.

Coming to Patch 5.1: Blackbog the Fang, one of the many new rares being added to the Vanilla zones. Blackbog will be a rare version of this nether ray's color. He will be in Felwood.

Another rare being added, Ornat in Burning Steppes, also uses this color.
